OBC addition Cables

Quality Porsche Parts on eBay may have even better selection than Oklahoma Foreign

Looks like an amazing job with the cables. I would love to do this to my Boxster. Bump for good DIY.

Update: ordered a set and received them in the mail. Just as I thought, top notch work, thanks.

Sent a PM. Tell me how to pay you for this as I want a set of cables for the 4 stalk OBC. Thanks!

[jim_hoyland]

If I have the outside temp showing does that mean the OBC is on ?

[Pdwight]

Yes, it should be on if you are seeing the outside temp

Received the switch with the wires; very well done ! I have a question regarding the placement of the switch. Previously I've read that some switches are left or right only; that is that fit on one side of the air/heat console but not the other. All my slots on the right (passenger side ) are full; this leaves me with only the driver side. Will the switch work on the left (driver side ) ?

Second question: is a second switch required to make the "speed gong" operational ?

[Pdwight]

Install in any vacant switch opening.

[jim_hoyland]

Is a separate switch required to set the speed gong ? How is the speed set ?

[Pdwight]

Im not sure if you can set the speed gong with a simple dash switch. I could provide a 4 stalk cable and you could add two switches I suppose to get the entire abilities....but I have no experience with that

[jim_hoyland]

We installed the OBC switch and have found the wiring job excellent; the switch now allows the function to cycle through. I have a couple of questions:

1. The switch has two buttons but only one seems to cause the OBC to cycle. Pressing the other side doesn't appear to have any effect ? Is this normal ?

2. Is there anyone out there who did the two (2) switch installation ? Would like clarification whether this allows setting the speed gong function

I would recommend Dwights harness to anyone wishing to use the OMC, it's a nice upgrade.

Hi PD,

I still have your switch harness you sent me, but I ended up buying a 4 stalk switch. Go figure. What modifications would need to be done to make the conversion from the switch harness to the 4 stalk harness.

Is the length the same?
Do I need to add 2 more wires with the connectors?

Thanks

PD,
Answered my own question. When I posted previously, I was at lunch on the work computer that doesn't allow photos. Sent you a PM.

Hi Kram,

I'm in the process of doing the same on mine using Pdwight's harness. My question, where did you find the shroud where the stalks protrude?

Or did you dremel the lower hole?

[KRAM36]

I bought the whole unit off eBay for $199.99 shipped.



There is another one for sale by the same person I bought mine from.

The rubber shroud has pre marked indentations on the back side. All you need is a utility or exacto knife to cut it out.

[Pdwight]

THese folks have some of the hard to find stuff...even the caps for the different "handles"

[Fintro11]

I need to do this

[Pdwight]

I will fix you up with a harness
